Abstract:
The thesis consists of seven chapters. The first
chapter is a general introduction on rice by-products,
their composition and utilization at present. The
different milling processes adopted in paddy and the major
by-products obtained from these processes viz. rice husk,
rice bran, rice bran oil and rice husk ash are described.
The physical properties and chemical composition of the
rice husk and its general uses are given in detail. The
chemical composition of the rice bran and its separation
from paddy is also included. The details of solvent
extraction process used for obtaining rice bran oil and
also its chemical constitution is discussed in this
chapter. Also described is the preparation and the
different uses of rice husk ash. A literature survey is
also done on the utilization of rice by-products in rubber
and plastics as on today. The scope and objectives of the
present study is also included at the end of this chapter.

Abstract:
Handwriting is an acquired tool used for communication of one's
observations or feelings. Factors that inuence a person's handwriting not
only dependent on the individual's bio-mechanical constraints, handwriting
education received, writing instrument, type of paper, background, but
also factors like stress, motivation and the purpose of the handwriting.
Despite the high variation in a person's handwriting, recent results from
different writer identification studies have shown that it possesses sufficient
individual traits to be used as an identification method.
Handwriting as a behavioral biometric has had the interest of researchers
for a long time. But recently it has been enjoying new interest due to an
increased need and effort to deal with problems ranging from white-collar
crime to terrorist threats. The identification of the writer based on a piece
of handwriting is a challenging task for pattern recognition. The main
objective of this thesis is to develop a text independent writer identification
system for Malayalam Handwriting. The study also extends to developing a
framework for online character recognition of Grantha script and Malayalam
characters
